Default Tickets issued on Friday...
When the NE crew arrived on the dragon Friday afternoon, we saw a heavy presence of TN troopers and Blount sheriffs. I heard there were somewhere around 14 tickets handed out to S2k owners that day. Is this true? If so, were they writing the tickets for speed or crossing the double yellow? TIA.

One person from the UMW was given a ticket for speeding.

Approximately 16 of us from the Ohio Caravan got pulled over but no tickets were issued.

Was that on the dragon itself, or another road?

Thats good. Was it also on the dragon? If so, was the reason for getting stopped speed or line Xing?

Nope. Foothills Parkway by a park ranger.

It seemed to me to be a pretty coordinated effort. They were all just waiting for us to show up on Friday.

Well, if it is any consolation, the NE crew got $200 fines for speeding through the Skyline drive by park rangers. We were over doing it on a grand scale though

yes that ticket was in the middle of the Dragon. I don't have enough time to list all the other tickets from the drive home.
